Unlimited is a supplier of most metal alloys in most mill forms that fall
into the category of not “off the shelf” items. There are many medium to
large stocking metals distributors that offer a wide variety of commodity
type items. We offer our services to supply items that in most cases must
be produced to exact customer specifications such as flat wire.

Depending on the metal alloy, size, temper and tolerances very few people if
any keep flat wire stocks. This is true in copper flat wire as it would be
highly impractical to try to stock sizes that would meet many end user
requirements. Flat wire is produced by starting with a round wire and
processing it through flattening equipment to obtain both the thickness and
width needed. There are a variety of edges that can be supplied from a
square corner (similar to a slit strip) all the way to a fully rounded edge.

After the wire is flattened to size the temper or “hardness” of the item
will be determined by the amount of cold working the metal has gone
through. This amount of cold working is determined in aluminum flat wire as
well as all other alloys, by the specified temper of the end user. If the
temper required is soft or annealed then the final operation is for the flat
wire to be annealed in a heat controlled oven, either in a batch of strand
annealing operation.

Metals Unlimited uses only high quality flat wire mills to produce the
products we sell and stands behind each and every order as regards meeting
our customer specifications.

Have
you been frustrated by dealing with sources who only check a
computer for stock and lack imagination in filling your
requirements?
